#WaterCrisis: Welcome to Level 6b water restrictions

Cape Town - From today, 1 February 2018, Level 6b water restrictions take effect and will limit Capetonians to just 50 litres of water per day.

Essentially, residents should now use 18 litres of water for washing and laundry, 15 litres for showering, nine litres to flush their toilets, three litres for daily hygiene, two litres for cooking, two litres for drinking water and one litre for animals.

Mayor Patricia de Lille, who is not allowed to speak on the water crisis, said: “We all need to pull together now more than ever to combat the drought, and so I appeal to all councillors to get behind all water-savings campaigns.”
